Aberdam

Went here with a friend I was visiting, I don't have a taste for spicy food so ordered some chips topped with chicken and a cheese burger as I was famished while ordering (never a good combo lol) the chips were incredible, I can not praise them enough. The burger was an odd one, a resonable size I suppose for the price but was rather spicy, now unsure if its me but I do not expect a cheese burger to be spicy, so I didn't enjoy that one, no where does it mention this fact on the menu either. So in all stick with the chips and enjoy your meal. :)

Recently got to try Aberdam's offerings through the 2 vans visiting Fraserburgh. I missed the last visit so was really looking forward to this. The queuing was a little haphazard and, with the 2 vans, it was a little confusing if you ordered at one for both (you didn't). I arrived quite early at 16:25, with 2 people in the queue infront of me and I had a 45 minute wait for my food. By the time I left the queue must have been 20+ people deep (causing issues for parking and leaving) but it is a popular thing when it comes to town. The staff in the burger van could also have been a bit louder when calling out orders if I'm honest. It also created a big issue with people ordering from both vans but one order being ready about 20 minutes before then other. But everyone was in good spirits and still a good atmosphere. It may be time to start looking at a better location for it though, with a larger car park and better orginisation for the queues. (factory shop, college car park, lesuire centre, lighthouse museum etc). My food was really good and I enjoyed it a lot. My "dirty dirty pig" burger was excellent. Juicy burgers with gooey cheese and chorizo, honestly a real pleasure. But I genuinly couldn't have told you there were any crispy onions in it. I ordered the large fries with pigasus seasoning (cheese, bacon and jalapeño) and the Carolina mustard bbq sauce. The fries themselves were excellent, crispy and fresh, but I'm 100% sure they forgot the seasoning, there was no flavour or signs of it on the fries. The sauce was... OK. I expected a punch from the mustard and a tang and it was fine but didn't pack the punch I really expected. So, after the hype, it was a mixed bag. My food was still very good and I'll definately make a point of going again. Maybe a couple of things slipped a little due to the amount of people and a few wrinkles could be ironed out but it is a pop up location and it's never going to be as smooth as a service in a shop/restaurant.

Aberdam had a van in Fraserburgh on Wednesday 19th April and I was struck about how different they were in their menu, how different they were with regards to customer service. By that I mean I've seen food combos I couldn't imagine myself but that seemed to work, they fulfilled my food on the spot "freshly" so understandably I had to wait 2 minutes. If I remember correctly I had Buffalo Blue, even though I found it slightly pricey I enjoyed my food. I might be back some other time...
